NAME

       RkInitialize - initialize the kana-kanji conversion functions

SYNOPSIS

       #include <canna/RK.h>
       int RkInitialize(dhdpath)
       char *dhdpath;

DESCRIPTION

       RkInitialize  initiates the kana-kanji conversion functions.  dhdpath names the dictionary
       home directory.

       Because this library permits multiple kana-kanji conversions to proceed  concurrently,  it
       uses  the conversion context method of control to manage the kana-kanji conversions.  Each
       context contains internal data needed to perform a kana-kanji conversion.

       Users identify the conversion contexts from  one  another  by  their  context  number.   A
       context  number  is  an  integer of 0 or greater and is used as the first parameter of the
       kana-kanji conversion function.

       Right after the kana-kanji conversion functions are initialized by RkInitialize, only  the
       standard  context  with  context number 0 exists.  Applications using only one context can
       use the standard context.

RETURN VALUE

       This function returns 0 if successful; otherwise, it returns -1.
